A welterweight bout featuring Santiago Ponzinibbio taking on Li Jingliang took place on the main card of today’s UFC Fight Island 7 event.<\/p>\n

Ponzinibbio (27-3 MMA) was returning to action for the first time since November of 2018, where he had scored a sensational knockout victory over Neil Magny. The Argentinian<\/a> standout is currently riding a seven-fight win streak, which includes victories over Mike Perry, Gunnar Nelson and Court McGee.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Li Jingliang (17-6 MMA) was looking to bounce back from a unanimous decision loss to Neil Magny when he took to the Octagon<\/a> this evening. The Chinese standout had gone 3-1 over his past four fights, which included two victories by way of TKO.<\/p>\n

Tonight’s Ponzinibbio vs. Jingliang bout proved to be a one-sided affair. Although Ponzinibbio came forward with early pressure, all he seemed to do was absorb counter strikes from Li Jingliang. The Chinese standout landed a number of good punches and low kicks before putting Santiago Ponzinibbio down for good with a beautiful counter left hook (see that here).<\/p>\n
